HSF #1/2014 – Make do & Mend

For this HSF challenge I wanted to do something in the spirit of my Grandfathers role as a resistance man during WW2 in Denmark. In an earlier post I mentioned that I have started to re-enact WW2. So this is also why I needed a wardrobe for these events.

HSF#1/2014 first theme was Make do & Mend. Since I had nothing to mend I did a Make do.
